how do I ascertain that a software product is made by a co-op? marketing, probably, to be sustainable. what examples are there of well-marketed co-ops? it's not really something that is in the forefront of the collective consciousness. a few knowledgable grocery shoppers, sure, know of Welch's which is owned by the National Grape Coop, and the Green Bay Packers are as a publicly-owned American football team are a stretch for being a coop as owners only have voting rights and not profit reimbursement. I say this as someone who volunteered to run the finances of non-profit co-op housing communities, way back when, that it's a foreign concept for most.
Someone needs to differentiate products that don't abuse workers. I could see twitch, etc being an avenue for promotion, of course, but getting a groundswell of streamers into this is another matter.
